Paul is really annoying me. Is he going to spend his last few months in The Chokey ?
Is George going to be asked to finance Glenda's project ?

When will the scaffolding outside the Barlow's house disappear? Is the roof still not fixed? Is nobody missing the scaffolding that could be used elsewhere?
I guessed the reference you were making, but had never heard it used before.
I googled it and found these two definitions:
1. The Chokey is a torture device featured in the book and Roald Dahl film versions of Matilda. Closely resembling an iron maiden, the Chokey is designed to be narrow that no one can sit or squat while in it. Its measurement is said to be 10 inches and is filled with broken glass sticking out in the walls with nails on the door.
2. A somewhat dated British slang word to describe a prison.
I take it you're not a teenager then Dennis, using that 'dated' expression - ha ha!
